I am currently sitting by myself in our living room with the dog curled up underneath a blanket next to me

Sigh. I'm so sorry. Mothers get crazy sometimes. I went through something similar with mine around the time Charles and I got married. She was a total asshole at my wedding, and my MOH basically had to tell her to sit the fuck down and shut up when she insisted on making a speech at the reception. She came around eventually, but it took her having her own mom treat her like shit "for the last time" for her to realize that she had been doing the same to me, pretty much ever since I met Charles, and she actually apologized and said that she was just jealous that I'd found someone who treated me well, which she'd tried and failed to do 4 times. There's an LJ post about it somewhere, but I'm pretty sure it's private now, since I locked everything down in 2009 during my prolonged fit of crazy. Anyway, Mom and Grandma are still going around and around, although last time I talked to Mom she said that she'd once again told Grandma to die in a fire (she's 89, sooo). Sometimes it just takes something catastrophic for people to pull

I'm sorry that other people have the same similar crappy issues with their moms but I'm glad it isn't just me and my psycho mom. And I'm totally thrilled that your mom actually apologized! I keep hoping that my mom will see the pattern--her own mom did the same shit and she HATED her for it--but we shall see.

I was stunned at Kevin. I mean, he never, never, EVER gets angry. Ever. And I know it must have taken a lot for him to do that. But it was awesome. The best part was that he's pretty sure he never even swore at her. I was like, wow! Of course, she still told my therapist that Kevin "verbally assaulted" her. *eyeroll* Ah well. We'll see how therapy goes on Wednesday!

wow, go kevin!! he may be my hero too for that. i also almost cheered at my desk when i read what he said to her... it's like that good part in a story when someone finally has had it, and lets it all out. not that i'm comparing your life to entertainment, mind you. but it was that type of feeling.

i hope she comes around. i really do.
and i heart kevin and you. and your mother in law a little bit too.
